|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Statue of Liberty stamp based on Las Vegas fake David Harpe, Photographer Denver | CO | USA | Posted: 7:53 AM on 04.16.11 ->> http://www.postchronicle.com/news/strange/article_212360042.shtml?rssfeed "Betts partly blamed Getty Images, the stock photography company that supplied the image, for ambiguously labeling the image in its database. While the image is simply titled "Statue of Liberty," the keywords attached to it include "Nevada" and "Replica Statue of Liberty - Las Vegas," although Betts say this information was added only after the USPS raised the point with Getty. Getty Images did not return a call seeking comment." This appears to be the original image: http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/86079275/Workbook-Stock  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (2) | Huh?
